A few jigs that my son and I made from whitetail deer and squirrel tail.  Not exactly a fly fishing bait...




You could certainly use that big one in the top center to snag my cat !

Hey Ralph,
Sorry to hear but I wont try to convince you otherwise.
Maybe someday our paths will cross at a range with CZ's in hand.

Stay busy doing what you enjoy.

I haven't fished in 30yrs, never golfed. I cleaned up my old Mountain bike the other week but that as far as that went.
Renewed an expired membership at a hick club range just north of Montgomeryville (Morwood) to go shoot with a buddy on "our" birthday. Only to find out after paying up that the range was closed for a graduation party in the grove. Went back the next day (with even more ammo) to Celebrate with success.

Sorry, had to remove the list of firearms due to server overload. I hope you now have a more pleasant experience on this forum.

"Hey, do you want to try my Glock?"
No thank you. Want to try my CZ P-01?
"Hell Yeah, DoooD, thats sweet"

Gun owners really are very helpful folks for the most part, not exactly sure why, but I bet the fact that we have to stand together to keep our sport from becoming marginalized politically is part of it.  There is more to it though; I remember running into an old man (late 60s) while I was still very young (19ish) at the ammo shelf of a sporting goods store and him striking up a conversation about firearms and target shooting.  It was like we had known each other a long time and we ended up chatting probably a good 20-30 minutes, even though we were complete strangers 40 years apart; this hobby/sport just brings people together.

Another reason might be the inherent danger associated with the sport as well.  While it can be safe if the rules are followed, it can also be very dangerous if they are not.  As such, we tend to bond together for collective safety and police each other so no one gets hurt.

"Hi

Makes me think of Larry the cable guy's x-mas parody; "Call a Dr, Earl is bleeding, tried to pet my pit bull Sam..."

The dog in the picture is my Rottweiler Hercules. The reason he has a muzzle on,is he injured his foot,and I didn't want the Vet to be nervous treating an injured 145 lb. Rottweiler.
I didn't think it would have been as funny, if I said I was afraid of cutting my Rottweilers fur,so I said my neighbors dog instead. Maybe with a little humor,I can get the stick that's up their butts to fall out,Lol. If not ,I'll have some fun with them,until I get bored. ;D

Gun owners are good guys, but IMHO the best of the bunch are the reloaders. When I first started back in the late 70's, I bought some supplies at a store I'd never been in. I wrote a check and proceeded to go for my wallet. The guy at the register said he didn't need any ID. Asked why, he said he'd never had a bounced check from a reloader.

And the fact I needed primers and bullets was all he needed.  8)

At the time I thought that was so strange.

I'll second that!  I've learned so much from this reloading forum both in folks answering my questions and in just reading the wealth of knowledge in this section.  I appreciate the tone of this forum the most, all are welcome to challenge but it never gets ugly, just a conversation in the spirit of learning/teaching.

Cheers,
Toby
